Life And Love

My motto. My devotion.

We make of it what we will

We will of it what we make

And in doing we instill

For posterity all our mistakes

But all our successes, as well

Love won, love lost, love returned

Be it heaven or be it hell

Some forever, some spurned

But the heart rots if left unused

Even if we achieve longevity

Better for it to be abused

Than kept under lock and key

That was cute! Could the word captivity been used in the last sentence? "Better for it to be abused
Than kept under captivity". It's just me I'm sure.

These two should go together. One is meaningless without the other. They're like interdependent with each other. I so agree with this. This is just beautiful!

Amen.

Well said, very true, and words of wisdom that we all should listen to, and practice.

I agree, but believe it or not, there are some that don't agree and rather not "feel" at all.
